[ If Gorgug were a little more perceptive, he might see clearer the depth of Fabian's reaction. What he does see is the touched expression, and that might be enough--Fabian likes them. He says that he likes them, and that Gorgug likes them too, and that's nice. Gorgug likes those things too, and nothing about him is judgmental about what Fabian says, or even knows he could be judgmental.

He just continues to smile, pleased that he made a good choice. ]


Cool. [ Cool. ] I'll get you flowers more.

[ That's a little note he can make about Fabian to himself. And with that being simple and straightforward to Gorgug, he turns a step, half-facing between the van and Fabian. ]

You wanna get in? I got a vase in case you decided to keep the flowers.

[ When and if Fabian decides to get in, though he can see the sight of the interior from where he stands, there's an onslaught of soft cushions on two sides of a low table, scented candles sitting on small square boxes turned over and covered with different fabrics (and also clued to said structures); there's a picnic basket tucked to a corner, and lo-fi tunes are coming from the van's radio. ]

[ That kiss on the lips? A pretty good sign he did a good job. Gorgug does lean down when Fabian urges him, closes his eyes for the kiss that comes, and then opens them to a rather cheery expression, sweet and touched by the gesture.

This is what their relationship needs more of, apparently. And he was second-guessing the flowers. When that's the key ingredient to being romantic in a relationship! ]


Then let's do romantic more. I like romantic.

[ There's an idea there, something for the future, nothing concrete to do about now, but one day. He gives Fabian another kiss, one that's quicker than his on the lips, but only because there's something he has to do. His hands are on Fabian's chest though--not pushing him away, but just resting there. ]

You sit-- I need to move the van out to get a good view. Then I'll join you.

[ Unless Fabian wants the view of the land and with the Maximum in the distance. Gorgug wouldn't protest more than once. ]

[ His van is a boat and his boat is a van, Fabian. Respect the lore!!

Gorgug would reply about romantic things he would be willing to do, but Fabian is already off to deal with the flowers, so he hops into the front to take at the controls. A voice perks up in his head than in the console, an encouraging, 'Thumbs up on the flowers, huh, my guy? Like I tooold you, nothing to worry about!' and Gorgug hums in place of the laugh he nearly gives, smiling, and saying a small 'Yeah, thanks' under his breath when he starts up the engine. ]


Ready? [ he asks Fabian, and once he is, sitting down in place, Gorgug starts to direct the van out in boat mode, a light thrum running through the van as Gorgug makes a turn and drives out farther into the lake. Somewhere that looks like it has a nice view, even if it's a simple and scenic one that takes out the buildings from the equation, leaving water and distant land.

The lights survive the drive, glued into place--ripping them off later might be a bigger issue. But after five minutes or slow, Gorgug settles the van and crawls back into the back. Spotting where Fabian sits and giving him a smile, checking the view from the opened doors (with a little splash around the opening, but nothing that could reach in and catch at Fabian). Gorgug sits on one side of the low table, as is usual courtesy when hanging out with a pal.

...

...but then he gets an idea--even this late into planning!--and decides to take the place of picnic basket, scooting over and lifting it, and sitting it on his lap. ]


Sitting closer is more romantic.

[ He's so big brained, Fabian! ]

[ Another Gorgugism occurs, as he listens to Fabian's deduction and he considers his reasoning, even looking at where Fabian gestures to his evidence. Calculating it together and deciding, sincerely, with a slow nod: ]

I am. I'm pretty good at this. [ Sometimes, Gorgug will have an ego about the most random of things... but it seemingly inspires him, with him now closer to Fabian, Gorgug reaches over and takes Fabian's closest hand and links them together, even though his next action is to look at the picnic basket and start poking through. He's given himself a singular hand to do with the job, but fortunately, the actual meals inside are in bento boxes, so those are easy to sit on the table. ]

This is the fish, [ he says, and if Fabian opts to look in, he'll find unadon: grilled fish on top of a bed of rice. But Gorgug is still bringing out some more things to sit on the table: like a small fancy wooden chopping board. A cutting knife, a butter knife, and butter for said butter knife. He lets some demi baguettes sit spread out next to the side farther from him on the table, and then brings out... blocks of cheese, and a sealed packet of meat.

And starts sitting them on the farther end on Fabian's side. ]


And cheese and bread. Like we're having a fancy picnic.

[ He thought of it all!! ]

[ Wow, a picnic worthy of a Seacaster. Coming from Fabian, and maybe even somebody saying it like that in general, gives it a higher status that even Gorgug feels its worth. Which means the sides of his smile are crinkling when it widens, a further pride in his bones, his chest. Fish, cheese, and bread... who knew that's the way to a Seacaster's heart!!

And a Seacaster isn't the only one whose heart is being reached. Being a handsome helmsman? So very cool, and Gorgug looks at Fabian after he says it, giving his hand a squeeze back. ]


Really? I'm a handsome helmsman? [ Handsome, and a helmsman. Who knew those words would come out of Fabian's mouth about him? ] Would you like that? We could get a real boat, one with a helm, and I could really steer you out on the lake.

[ The lake. Because there isn't a sea, but maybe this piece of fantasy inside their reality would be nice to Fabian? Even if the size of boat Gorgug is imagining might be smaller than Fabian. ]

[ He's the most sexy... after Fabian, naturally. Gorgug can accept it!

But he was getting distracted from the actual food, surprising as that might be. Fabian reaching for the knife does call his attention to it, though, and he follows Fabian's gesture, grabbing the baguette and... thinking he should let go of Fabian's hand. Which he might start to do, unless Fabian says no and takes it back.

Which Gorgug might say, 'I'm holding it one-handed?', but accept with a chuckle in his throat. He can do that! He'll just hold it to the small table, and hopefully Fabian won't bump his hand.

But as for other potential issues: like steering. ]


Well-- yeah. [ Does he think so? sure! ] You steered your dad's ship in hell. I can steer a ship too. I steer my vanboat.

[ Which is the same thing no matter how Fabian may want to protest. Sorry, but it's true!!! Live with the facts! Are you going to argue with this face smiling back at you, Fabian?

(probably.) ]

[ Well, a lot of boats can be larger than the Hangvan--they've got large hulls, for the most part. Gorgug would be willing to learn how to steer a boat to have a fun time with Fabian (and they could even invite their friends!), but giving it some thought, while pushing open the baguette so that Fabian can butter it when he's ready: ]

What if you teach me how to ride a boat?

[ Wouldn't that be the most fun? ]

[ Gorgug sees the action stopped, the turn of Fabian's head in his vision, and so he looks back at Fabian. Surprised, if less than him; more curious, though he does turn that inward as he considers what he just said and decided. ]

--Yeah? [ He doesn't need that long to ponder. ] Boats are cool. We can go together and hang out with our friends.

[ Hmmm. Oh, you know- ]

Should we pick up fishing?

[ Would that be any fun? ]
